WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-St Paul is promised
an acquisition in the person of young Jim
Blaine, of Maine. He went incog to the Mail
and Express office in New York Tuesday, and
applied for work. He was discouraged by
Managing Editor Coates, but persisted in his
application. The managing editor said he
would not employ him, and the young man,
handing out card engraved james g.
Blaine, Jr.," asked Cyrus w. Fields address,
and said he believed he could bring influence
to bear to get him a place on the paper in
spite of the managing editor. Mr.. Coates
says that young MIR. Blaine will not become
part of the Mail and Express staff. Young
Jim now says he is going to st. Paul, where
his brother Walker made such good start in
the legal profession in 1880 and 81. Walker
advises him to abandon journalism. read law

sioners yesterday, charging discrimination in
the grading of wheat. The road claims that
the Hastings g. Dakota gets less No. hard

the road runs through as fine wheat growing
districts as the latter. Figures showing that

Breckenridge division of the Manitoba be.
tween the 1st and 18th of January 81 per cent
was graded No. l hard, and out of 5I4 cars
brought by the Minneapolis g. st. Louis 50 per
cent. went No. ] hard; while of the $50 cars
hauled by the Milwaukee. only "a per cent
was No. hard. The matter was taken under
adYisement by the commissioners.

Going to "Nlght Ouarters." |"

The operation known as "going to night
quarters consists in preparing a ship for
immediate action, and the celebrity with
which it can be carried out is so eXtraor-
binary as to be almost incredible. it is
nearly midnight; the flagship is blowing
her way across the calm sea, and the regu-
lar humping of her screw is almost the
only noise that is audible ON board of her
The officer of the watch passes like n
shadow backward and forward along the
bridge On the poop the marine sentry
and few CHASTITY looking signalmen move
silently hither and thither A light shines
from the skylight Of the admiral's cabin;
but if you look down you may see the adj
miral asleep in his armchair, with book
upon his knees. On the dimly lighted
main deck there is a steady murmur caused
by the concert of several hundred snores,
and the officers, like the luejackets and
marines, are in the arms of Morpheus.
But, unfortunately for the peace of the
ship, the admiral has given orders that he
is to be called at midnight, and shortly
before that hour the little midshipman Of
the watch steals softly below and wakes
the flag lieutenant, who in his turn wakes
the admiral.
Then the admiral suddenly appears on
the poop. followed by few heavily coated
SuDOrdlnateS, ana the Orsler Is given. In
an instant the ship from stem to stern
leaps from sleep. Men drop from their
hammocks and partially dress themselves
with haste which could scarcely be ex-
ceeded with their lives in jeopardy. The
han4moclxs, which interfere with the fight
ing arrangements, are lashed up, and are
placed on the upper deck abreast of their
proper nettings, and ready to be slowed
and covered. All lights which show out
side the ship are extinguished, and the
fighting Lantern are lighted. Electric
search lights are got ready for use. ALI
water tight doors are closed, the maga-

ship is in al respects ready for action

Etiquctte Of the Cigarette.

There is fashion even In so small a
thing as the lighting Of n cigarette. In
cuba it is customary among gentlemen
for one to place the cigarette between his
lips, light it, take a few pulls and then
hand it to his friend. In Spain the same
fashion prevails. An Austrian is very
punctilious about the etiquette OF cigar
lighting lie lights his cigarette first and
then hands the lighted match to his com
panion. The idea is that it is more cour-
teous TO allow comrade the greater length
Of time If he is handed the match frst he
naturally hurries in order to hand it back
again. a Frenchman always hands his
companion the match first. An English
man proffers the cigarette to his friend,
lights a match, hands it to him and then
helps himself TO another cigarette and
match. An American usually hands his
friend lighted match and takes light
from his cigarette afterward.
The small boy gets a light wherever he
can, generally from some passer by on the
street The habit of stopping men in the
street to ask for a light is looked upon as
Ill bred in all countries. In no country is

The ColOrd Troops at Petersburg.

Any striking event or piece of news was
unusually eagerly discussed by the white
troops, and in the ranks military critics
were as plenty and perhaps more voluble
than among the officers. Not SO with the
blacks; important news, such as that be-
fore us, after the bare announcement, was
usually followed by long silence. They
sat about in groups studying as
they called it. They waited, like the
Quakers, for the spirit to move; when the
spirit moved one of their singers would
uplift mighty voice, like bard of old,
in wild sort of chant. If he did not
strike a sympathetic chord in his hearers,
If they did not find in his utterance an ex-
ponent OF their idea, he would sing it again
and again, altering sometimes the words
or more often the music. If his changes
met general acceptance one voice after
another would chime in; a rough harmony
of three parts would add itself; other
groups would join his, and the song be-
came the song of the command
The night we learned that we were TO
lead the charge ION the explosion of the
Petersburg mine) the news filed them too
full for ordinary utterance. The joyous
negro guffaw always breaking out about
the campfire ceased. Yhey formed circles
in their company streets and were sitting
on the ground intently and solemnly
studying. y AT last heavy voice began
to sing "We-e looks like me-en a-a
marchin' on, we looks like men-er-war."
Over and over again he sang it, making
slight changes. The rest watched him
intently; no sign Of approval or disap-
proval escaped their lips or appeared on
their faces All at once, when his refrain
had struck the right response in their
hearts, his group took it up, and shortly
half a thousand voices were upraised. 1t
was picturesque scene-these dark men,
with their white eyes and teeth and
fun red lips, crouching over smold-
ering campfire, in dusky shadow,
with only the feeble rays of the Ian
terms of the first sergeants and the
lights of the candles dimly showing
through the tents. The sound was as
weird as the scene, when all the voices
struck the low "E'' Qast note but one),
held it, and then rose to GA" with
portamento as sonorous as it was clumsy.
Until we fought the battle Of the crater
they sang this every night, to the exclu-
sion of all other songs. After that defeat
they sang it no more.-The Century.

Christian indignation.

Hearty Indignation against wrong
doing is necessity to wholesome
soul. To be made righteously angry
by the evil should be rs natural as to
be made righteously happy by the
good. To see a horse unmerciful "
beaten by cruel driver. or child in
huma- ly treated by brutal father, to
see the corruption of municipal life, to
hear the horrid oath, should make the
blood boil; and he whose pulses do not
beat a little faster in consequence. and
whose heart does not thrOb with indig-
nation. may we'll suspect himself Of
callous spiritual nature. The trouble
is, that SO much of personal resent
ment is apt to be mixed with our
anger that we need to guard
well this emotion. If somebody
cheats as. the cheek burns, and the
hands clench readily enough. If.
through misrepresentation. worthless
piece of property is sold us, we have no
difficulty in growing angry-how is it
when our neighbor is cheated in the
same way? When some one insults us.
or cuts us upon the street, the hot blood
mounts upward very quickly; but when
our Lord is insulted and neglected by
the thoughtless throng, are our hearts
equally grieved?
When we ourselves do wrong. do we
blush for shame? Are we righteously
angry at the traitor within who has
opened to the enemy the gates of Man.
